Face-framing layers

About this style: Short layers are cut only at the front so they fall along the cheekbone and jaw. The length behind stays untouched, keeping the change concentrated right around the face.
Who it suits: Usually the right compromise for anyone unwilling to lose length, but short front pieces keep falling out when the hair is tied up.
Upkeep: Only the front pieces need reshaping every 6 - 8 weeks; the rest can keep growing.
